ages before you were born
your mother and I were but children
and we sang folk songs of beer and women
and she'd even smoke cigars when prompted
blue waves, those days held sorrow with much more strength
oh, lonely old, lowly old man
first one to stand last one to fall
even the crows they cawed at her beauty while we danced in the crops
swaying like barley
and we loved, with a love that children don't pursue
blue waves, those days held sorrow with much more strength
oh, lonely old, lowly old man
first one to stand last one to fall
and on that cold winter morn
the bleak hour our sweet Helen was born
the warriors of the frost they froze my love to the core
even when the sun reaches the high of the day
i recall how your mother stood steadfast and swayed
and your hair shines so simply the color of hay
so i know only god's spite could have taken her away
blue waves, crashed upon my shores
and i assure you they've bethroned more than one before you my love, you my love
blue waves, those days held sorrow with much more strength
oh, lonely old, lowly old man
first one to stand last one to fall
oh you my love, you my love
you my love, you my love

  • You've got such a great voice, and this song is so beautiful..

    I love your videos!!

  • You're AWESOME! beautiful voice! really pretty! I like that acoustic guitar as well, it has a useful cutaway for the higher registers and a nice blue flamed maple-top finish.

    Please watch my videos. I want to marry you and write songs for you to perform so we both can be rich and a have a good and easy life.

    I'm really old but you'd grow to like me because of my musical insight.
